Sounds like you are doing too much of the work, just because you can do most of it, it does not mean you should. Have you looked into subcontracting more of it?

Welcome back joe, get better, you still have some butt to kick!

I have favorites, but kinda the same thing as Signmaniac, I try to use typefaces that go along with the design.... I like: House Industries fonts Emigre has a couple I could not live without... Font Bureau Font Bros Font Diner Letterhead Fonts. I like typefaces with lots of weights too...

This is bad stuff... I'm gonna be honest like you were with banner boy.... DO NOT SHOW ANYTHING UNTILL YOU THINK YOU HAVE GOTTEN THE FONTS RIGHT. Otherwise it's a waste of time. The logos shown with the bad type are awkward, stumbling attempts. Try easing up on decorative type, maybe mix...

I wish I could come up with a mature and lengthy answer about using this as an opportunity, but really, you should have kicked him in that nads before you left....

nope... there is not percentage or modified use of it... if you got sued, they would use a side by side analysis, but I would ask. This is one of those uses where the person holding the trademark might allow because it seems like a good cause. But selling it as a product without permission and...

Mudflap girl is a trademark and a big no-no, the ISA I am pretty sure is public domain.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudflap_girl

I don't know... The Rio logo kinda looks like a butt plug, not that I would know what that is....

gorsh, I'm home based and I'm not offended. And could give a crap what anyone thinks of it... I would preferably be working around other creative people. I think I remember saying working with my oldest kid more and doing more poster and print work.... Well, my son took off to live the...

But the place I am talking about is a craphole, no good furniture, lousy counter, cheap menu with handwritten items taped to the side... if the image is craphole, they got it... but it's not even a cheap craphole, it's kinda pricey. The reason I bring it up is, I can design a really good logo...

Well, it's doubtful you can do any of these suggestions now but, too much detail... looks clip-arty, one of my favorite looks for a delivery company of this type was homegrocer... I had an issue with just the peach signifying home grocery delivery, but I like how they did the graphics on the...

Maybe they are not limiting business... maybe they are: 1. Trying to give these downtown districts a fighting chance against malls... malls do this type of business selection all the time and have been doing it for years. 2. Cities have been losing their downtown since the 60's, especially in...

Not feeling that explanation... there are street/edgy legible typefaces... you can't recognize something if you don't know it, this is a start up, there is no brand . Here is another idea... offer your services to do large wall graphics in a street style.

I'm thinking the $10,0000 fine (at least around here) for changing a street sign illegally would have me reconsider the investment.

I like your idea, hate the type... There is a process to my snobbery... if I need the cash, I'm not a snob. I think it's good to practice both giving them what they want, and once in a while, standing up for good design. Your design has legibility issues, and it's probably too designey for this...

First... don't get so hung up on grayscale... and in actuality, it should be black and white... gray should not be used as that is just a simulation of color... black and white is used to see issues with the layout and if you need a black and white version. NO LOGO SHOULD BE DESIGNED USING THE...

Good catch.. it's possible... there has to be a reason to outline, and outlining is not the cure all for making type legible, in fact, from a distance, it can hurt legibility... there are other tricks designers use way too much, like shadows, boxes, and gradients... all can be great for a...

Have you ever watched the beginning of American Idol... all these singers, really good and really bad, have someone saying they are good. The ones that really suck... you have to wonder what these people are thinking? One thing for sure, they need honest friends or friends who know what sounds...

That is a sweet logo Neato... a corn dog for you! :corndog:
